<PAGE>   7
                                      -6-

                  (iv) that Holders electing to have a Registrable Security
         exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be required to surrender
         such Registrable Security, together with the enclosed letters of
         transmittal, to the institution and at the address (located in the
         Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) specified in the notice
         prior to the close of business on the last Exchange Date; and

                  (v) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election,
         not later than the close of business on the last Exchange Date, by
         sending to the institution and at the address (located in the Borough
         of Manhattan, The City of New York) specified in the notice a telegram,
         telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such
         Holder, the principal amount of Registrable Securities delivered for
         exchange and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election
         to have such Securities exchanged.

         As soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date, the Company and
the Guarantors shall:

                  (i) accept for exchange Registrable Securities or portions
         thereof tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange
         Offer; and

                  (ii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for
         cancellation all Registrable Securities or portions thereof so accepted
         for exchange by the Company and the Guarantors and issue, and cause the
         Trustee to promptly authenticate and mail to each Holder, an Exchange
         Security equal in principal amount to the principal amount of the
         Registrable Securities surrendered by such Holder.

         The Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts
to complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall comply with the
applicable requirement of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other
applicable laws and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offer. The
Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the
Exchange Offer does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation
of the Staff of the Commission. The Company shall inform the Initial Purchasers
of the names and addresses of the Holders to whom the Exchange Offer is made,
and the Initial Purchasers shall have the right, subject to applicable law, to
contact such Holders and otherwise facilitate the number of Registrable
Securities in the Exchange Offer.

         For a period of 180 days after the last Exchange Date, the Company and
the Guarantors shall also use their reasonable best efforts to make available a
prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act, which may be the
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the
Prospectus contained in a Shelf Registration Statement, as such Registration
Statements may be amended or supplemented from time to time, to Holders which
are broker-dealers (and which identify themselves as such) in
<PAGE>   8
                                      -7-

connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for
Registrable Securities, where such Registrable Securities were acquired by such
broker-dealers for their own account as a result of market-making or other
trading activities; provided that each Holder which is a broker-dea1er agrees
that, upon receipt of notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event
which makes any statement in the Prospectus untrue in any material respect or
which requires the making of any changes in the Prospectus in order to make the
statements therein nor misleading (which notice the Company agrees to deliver
promptly to such broker-dealer), such broker-dealer will suspend use of the
Prospectus until the Company has amended or supplemented the Prospectus to
correct such misstatement or omission and has furnished copies of the amended or
supplemented Prospectus to such broker-dealer. If the Company shall give any
such notice to suspend the use of the Prospectus, it shall extend the 180-day
period referred to above by the number of days during the period from and
including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when
broker-dealers shall have received copies of the supplemented or amended
Prospectus necessary to permit resales of the Exchange Securities.

         In the event that, at the last Exchange Date, any of the Initial
Purchasers shall not have sold all of the Registrable Securities initially
purchased from the Company and the Guarantors by such Initial Purchaser to
unaffiliated investors, upon such Initial Purchaser's written request (made
within 10 days after the last Exchange Date), the Company and the Guarantors
will use their reasonable best efforts to file promptly or, if so requested by
any Initial Purchaser, on a later date (which date shall not exceed the date
that is six months after the Exchange Date) a Shelf Registration Statement or a
post-effective amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement if
acceptable to the Commission to register all such Registrable Securities for all
such Initial Purchasers. The Company and the Guarantors will keep such Shelf
Registration Statement or other Registration Statement effective and make
available to such Initial Purchasers a Prospectus meeting the requirements of
the Securities Act for a period of 180 days; provided that each such Initial
Purchaser agrees that, upon receipt of notice from the Company of the happening
of any event which makes any statement in the Prospectus untrue in any material
respect or which requires the making of any changes in the Prospectus in order
to make the statements therein not materially misleading (which notice the
Company agrees to deliver promptly to such Initial Purchasers), such Initial
Purchaser will suspend use of the Prospectus until the Company has amended or
supplemented the Prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission and has
furnished copies of the amended or supplemented Prospectus to such Initial
Purchaser. If the Company shall give any such notice to suspend the use of the
Prospectus, it shall extend the 180-day period referred to above by the number
of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such
notice to and including the date when such Initial Purchasers shall have
received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to permit
sales of their Securities.

                  (b) In the event that:

                  (i) the Company determines that the Exchange Offer
         Registration provided for in Section 2(a) above is not available or may
         not be consummated as soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date
         because it would violate applicable law or the applicable
         interpretations of the Staff of the Commission;

                  (ii) the Exchange Offer is not for any other reason
         consummated within 240 days of the Closing Date; or

                  (iii) the Exchange Offer has been completed and in the written
         opinion of counsel to the Initial Purchasers (a copy of which is
         furnished to the Company) a Registration Statement must be filed and a
         Prospectus must be delivered by the Initial Purchasers in connection
         with any offering or sale of Registrable Securities,

the Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause
to be filed as soon as practicable after such determination, date or notice of
such opinion of counsel is given to the Company and the Guarantors, as the case
may be, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale by the Holders of
all of the Registrable Securities and to have such Shelf Registration Statement
declared effective by the Commission. In the event the Company and the
Guarantors are required to file a Shelf Registration Statement solely as a
result of the matters referred to in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the
Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to file and
have declared effective by the Commission both an Exchange Offer Registration
Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) with respect to all Registrable Securities
eligible to be included therein and a Shelf Registration Statement (which may be
a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Securities held by
the Initial Purchasers after completion of the Exchange Offer. The Company and
the Guarantors agree to use their reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf
Registration Statement continuously effective until the expiration of the period
referred to in Rule 144(k) with respect to the Registrable Securities or such
shorter period that will terminate when all of the Registrable Securities
covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement. The Company and the Guarantors further agree to
supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement if required by the rules,
regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the
Company and the Guarantors for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the
Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder for shelf
registration or if reasonably requested by a Holder with respect to information
relating to such Holder, and to use their reasonable best efforts to cause any
such amendment to become effective and such Shelf Registration Statement to
become usable as soon as thereafter practicable. The Company agrees to furnish
to the Holders of
<PAGE>   10
                                      -9-

Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after
its being used or filed with the Commission.

         (c) The Company and the Guarantors shall pay all Registration Expenses
in connection with the registration pursuant to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b).
Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer
taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder's Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.

         (d) An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a)
hereof or a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will
not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by
the Commission; provided, however, that if, after it has been declared
effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf
Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other
order or requirement of the Commission or any other governmental agency or
court, such Registration Statement will be deemed not to have become effective
during the period of such interference until the offering of Registrable
Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement may legally resume.

         If the Company or the Guarantors fail to comply with the above
provisions, additional interest (the "ADDITIONAL INTEREST") shall be assessed as
follows:

                  (i) If neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor
         the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, is filed within 120
         days following the Closing Date, then commencing on the 121st day after
         the Closing Date, Additional Interest shall be accrued on the
         Registrable Securities affected thereby over and above the accrued
         interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum; or

                  (ii) If an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf
         Registration Statement is filed pursuant to (i) above and is not
         declared effective within 210 days following the Closing Date, then
         commencing on the 211th day after the Closing Date, Additional Interest
         shall be accrued on the Registrable Securities affected thereby over
         and above the accrued interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum; or

                  (iii) If either (A) the Company and the Guarantors have not
         exchanged Exchange Securities for all Securities validly tendered in
         accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer within 240 days of the
         Closing Date, or (B) if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement
         has been declared effective but such Shelf Registration Statement
         ceases to be effective at any time prior to the expiration of the
         period referred to in Rule 144(k), then Additional Interest shall be
         accrued on the Registrable Securities affected thereby over and above
         the accrued interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum immediately following
         (x) the 241st day after the Closing Date, in the case of
<PAGE>   11
                                      -10-

         (A) above, or (y) the day such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to
be effective in the case of (B) above;

provided, however, that the Additional Interest rate on the Registrable
Securities may in no event exceed 0.25% per annum; and provided, further, that
Additional Interest on the Registrable Securities as a result of such clause
(i), (ii) or (iii) shall cease to accrue upon

                  (1) the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or
         Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of (i) above);

                  (2) the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration
         Statement or Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of (ii) above);
         or

referred to in clause (iii) of Section 2(b) and shall not apply to Securities
that cease to be Registrable Securities.

Section 2(d), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Holders and the

the Holders shall have received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus
necessary to resume such dispositions. The Company or the Guarantors may give
any such notice only twice during any 365-day period and any such suspensions
may not exceed 30 days for each suspension and there may not be more than two
suspensions in effect during any 365-day period.

         The Holders of Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration
Statement who desire to do so may sell such Registrable Securities in an
Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering the investment banker
or investment bankers and manager or managers (the "UNDERWRITERS") that will
administer the offering will be selected by the Majority Holders of the
Registrable Securities included in such offering, subject to the consent of the
Company (which shall not be unreasonably withhold or delayed) and such Holders
shall be responsible for all underwriting commissions and discounts.

         4. Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer. The Staff of the
Commission has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives Exchange
Securities for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities
that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other
trading activities (a "PARTICIPATING BROKER-DEALER"), may be deemed to be an
"underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a
Prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any
resale of such Exchange Securities.

         The Company and the Guarantors understand that it is the Staff's
position that if the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement includes a plan of
<PAGE>   19
                                      -18-

distribution containing a statement to the above effect and the means by which
Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Securities, without naming
the Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the amount of Exchange Securities
owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers
to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the Securities Act in
connection with resales of Exchange Securities for their own accounts, so long
as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the Securities Act.

         5. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) Each of the Company and the
Guarantors jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Initial Purchasers, each Holder and each Person, if any, who controls any
Initial Purchaser or any Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or is under common control
with, or is controlled by, any Initial Purchaser or any Holder, from and against
all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchaser, any Holder
or any such controlling or affiliated Person in connection with defending or
investigating any such action or claim) that arose out of or were based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) pursuant to which Exchange
Securities or Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act,
including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or that arose out of
or were based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, or that arose out of or were based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (as
amended or supplemented if the Company or that Guarantors shall have furnished
any amendments or supplements thereto), or that arose out of or were based upon
any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to
make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were
made not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities arose out of or were based upon any such untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating
to the Initial Purchasers or any Holder furnished to the Company in writing by
the Initial Purchasers or any selling Holder expressly for use therein. In
connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, the Company
and the Guarantors will also jointly and severally indemnify the Underwriter, if
any, selling brokers, dealers and similar securities industry professionals
participating in the distribution, their officers and directors and each Person
who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the
indemnification of the Holders, if requested in connection with any Registration
Statement.

         (b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and the other
selling Holders,
<PAGE>   20
                                      -19-

and each of their respective directors, officers who sign the Registration
Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantors,
any Initial Purchaser and any other selling Holder within the meaning of either
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same
extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Initial Purchasers and
the Holders, but only with reference to information relating to such Holder
furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any
Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto).

         (c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation)
shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to either Section 5(a) or 5(b), such Person (the "INDEMNIFIED
PARTY") shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be
sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") in writing and the indemnifying party, upon
request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the
indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and
disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such
proceeding, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in such
proceeding and, to the extent that it so elects, jointly with any other
similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof, subject to
the right of the indemnified party to be separately represented and to direct
its own defense if the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
and the indemnified party has been advised by counsel that representation of
both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between them. In any such proceeding, any
indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party
unless:

                  (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall
         have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or

                  (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
         impeded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the
         indemnified party and the indemnified party has been advised by counsel
         that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
         inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between
         them.

         It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection
with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable
for

                  (A) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in
         addition to any local counsel) for the Initial Purchasers, any Holders
         and all Persons, if any, who con-
<PAGE>   21
                                      -20-

         trol any Initial Purchasers or any Holder within the meaning of either
         Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act; and

                  (B) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in
         addition to any local counsel) for the Company, the Guarantors, their
         directors, their officers who sign the Registration Statement and each
         Person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantors within the
         meaning of either such Section, and

that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed, upon reasonable request, as
they are incurred. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement
of any proceeding effected without its written consent but, if settled with such
consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying
party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall,
without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
indemnified party is a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by
such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release
of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject
matter of such proceeding.

         (d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or paragraph
(b) of this Section 5 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then each indemnifying
party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying
party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the
other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the Company, the Guarantors and the
Holders shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Company, the Guarantors or by the Holders and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The Holders' respective obligations to contribute
pursuant to this Section 5(d) are several in proportion to the respective
principal amount of Registrable Securities of any such Holder that were
registered pursuant to a Registration Statement.

         (e) The Company, the Guarantors and each Holder agree that it would not
be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined
by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The
amount paid or payable by an indemnified
<PAGE>   22
                                      -21-

party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in
paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, no Holder shall be required to
indemnify or contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which Registrable Securities were sold by such Holder exceeds the
amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by
reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from
any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies
provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights
or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or
in equity.

         The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 5
shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of:

                  (i) any termination of this Agreement;

                  (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial
         Purchasers, any Holder or any Person controlling any Initial Purchaser
         or any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Company, the Guarantors, their
         officers or directors or any Person controlling the Company or the
         Guarantors;

                  (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange Securities; and

                  (iv) any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf
         Registration Statement.

         6. Miscellaneous.

         (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor the Guarantors
have entered into, and on or after the date of this Agreement will not enter
into, any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders
of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the
provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way
conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of
other issued and outstanding securities of the Company or the Guarantors under
any such agreements.

         (b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including
the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented,
and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be
given unless the
<PAGE>   23
                                      -22-

Company and the Guarantors have obtained the written consent of Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable
Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or
consent.

         (c) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered
first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing overnight
delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to
the Company and the Guarantors by means of a notice given in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the
Initial Purchasers, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) if
to the Company or the Guarantors, initially at the Company's address set forth
in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which
is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c).

         All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly
given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five business
days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when
answered back, if telexed; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; and on
the next business day, if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing
overnight delivery.

         Copies of all such notices, demands, or other communications shall be
concurrently delivered by the Person giving the same to the Trustee, at the
address specified in the Indenture.

         (d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the
parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express
assignment, subsequent Holders; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to
permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Securities
in violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement. If any transferee of any
Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by operation
of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of
the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable
Securities such Person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound
by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such
Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof. The Initial Purchasers
(in their capacity as Initial Purchasers) shall have no liability or obligation
to the Company or the Guarantors with respect to any failure by a Holder to
comply with, or any breach by any Holder of, any of the obligations of such
Holder under this Agreement.

         (e) Purchases and Sales of Securities. The Company and the Guarantors
shall not, and shall use their best efforts to cause their affiliates (as
defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) not to, purchase and then resell
or otherwise transfer any Securities.
<PAGE>   24
                                      -23-

         (f) Third Party Beneficiary. The Holders shall be third party
beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Company and the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and
shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems
such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of
Holders hereunder.

         (g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

         (h) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

         (i) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions
contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions
contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

         (j) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
